How to use this template
Do not market reactively. Decide at the start of each month what you will promote, when, and where. Last-minute promotions are usually less effective and more expensive.
Update actual spend and inquiries weekly while campaigns are running. If a campaign is running without generating inquiries after 10 days, stop it and reallocate the budget.
ROI = ((Revenue Attributed - Actual Spend) / Actual Spend) × 100. A 200–300% ROI is the minimum target for paid campaigns. Organic channels (Google Business Profile, email) typically show far higher ROI.
The Notes / Learnings column is the most valuable column in this sheet. After each campaign, write what worked and what did not. This prevents repeating expensive mistakes.
This template covers Analytics dashboard and booking source tracking. DetailFlowPro handles this automatically for active businesses — no spreadsheet required.

For most detailers, in order of ROI: (1) Google Business Profile — free, drives high-intent local customers; (2) Instagram before/after posts — free, builds visual trust; (3) Referral programs — near-zero cost, high conversion; (4) Email to existing customers — very high ROI if you have a list; (5) Paid Facebook/Instagram ads — effective but requires ongoing management and a learning period of 2–4 weeks.
